Product Description
Long measuring lengths

The linear encoders of this series come in various versions with measuring lengths of up to 10 m. These encoders deliver excellent dynamic behavior, high reliability, and consistently high accuracy across the entire measuring length.

Easy installation

The wide mounting tolerances of the exposed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN have only a minimal effect on the output signals, thus enabling fast and easy mounting. The mounting area on the machine requires only a simple mechanical design.

Signal-quality indicator

An integrated multi-colored LED in the scanning head delivers immediate information about the scanning signals and reference mark signal, permitting fast functionality checks and reliable assessment at any time without extra aids.

Consistently high signal quality

The HSP 1.0 ASIC developed by HEIDENHAIN ensures consistently high scanning signal quality. The ASIC compensates for a drop in signal amplitude by increasing the LED current, thus maintaining the optimal signal shape under contamination.
